L'humaniste

Eau de Parfum

Like the refreshing aromatics of a classic gin and tonic, the zesty citrus top notes in L'humaniste command you to sit up and pay attention from the beginning. Delve deeper to discover a subtle spicy peppery heart tempered just enough with green notes of juniper and thyme. Genteel, refined, timeless.

Amazing fragrance overall with good longevity and sillage. A higher end "fresh" scent that works well in any weather. There arent too many colognes that I do not get tired of, and this is one of them. To me this is well worth owning on a shelf of fragrance staples. Thumbs up!

This is a wonderful smell - gin & tonic in a bottle. However, I can't recommend it because it has no longevity. After 1/2 - 1 hour it is gone (poof!) and you'll have to put your nose against skin to get what might be the ghost of this scent. If you don't care a bout longevity/projection in your fragrances or carry around your fragrances for frequent reapplication, then this would be a good buy as the smell is undeniably amazing. If you're a single application kind of person and you want to enjoy your fragrance for more than 1hr, this probably isn't for you.

L'humaniste is excellent - a slightly sweetened gin and tonic, complete with citrus zest. There is a nice spice/pepper in the background. Somehow it manages to be both "sparkling" in texture and creamy at the same time. A bit light on sillage and longevity: a couple sprays to the shirt does the trick, though. Well worth the price.

I have just found my daytime skin scent for the year. Didn't expect to be so pleasantly surprised at the way this unfolds on me. Makes me want to add some new gear to the wardrobe to accentuate this remarkable yet simple fragrance. It says " I don't even have to try".Self confidence in a bottle! SCORE!!!

Out of the vial, this smelled like a household cleaner, but on my skin it turned into something truly wonderful. Clean and classy, and most importantly, worth having in my collection.

After a quick opening blast of lime, it settles into a very subtle scent with juniper predominating as well as a dry mustiness that reminds me of a fine grappa more than a gin and tonic (although I do get that comparison as well). Very masculine. Not at all sweet. It doesn't hit you over the head like Caravelle Epices (which I tend to prefer).

Nice opening reminiscent of gin and tonic, but also a fine grappa. Eventually fades into a powdery, close to the skin scent. Skews slightly masculine; worth trying for both sexes. Giving it 4 stars due to longevity only.
